ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T
L2+/Lite L3 10G Ethernet Aggregation Switch with 2 40G Uplinks

Product Overview
The ECS5520 series consists of two switches with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ ports or 10GBASE-T ports and two 40GbE uplink ports. The
switches are designed for carrier/enterprise aggregation or small data center top-of-rack. The ECS5520 series is an ideal solution
for traditional three-tier aggregation or core topologies and folded-Clos architectures, serving with a 2:1 oversubscription. The
ECS5520 switches are packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and
advance QoS to network aggregation, while maintaining simple management. The switch also supports the most advance IPv6
management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their
services from home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and
advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure service-level agreements.

Key Features and Benefits

Comprehensive QoS Superior Management
The ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T offers advanced QoS for marking, An industry-standard command-line interface (CLI), accessed through

simply configure switches.
Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p and DSCP to provide optimal
performance for real-time applications. Weighted Round Robin (WRR) The ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T supports SNMPv1,2c,3 and

Robust Multicast Control Virtual Private Networks

IGMP snooping prevents the flooding of multicast traffic by The ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T supports Layer 2 VPNs by using
dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is Q-in-Q functions, where an 802.1Q tag from a customer VLAN (called
forwarded to only those ports associated with an IP multicast receiver. CE-VLAN ID) is encapsulated in a second 802.1Q tag from a
IGMP increases the performance of networks by reducing multicast service-provider network (called an SP-VLAN ID). The switch supports

receive simultaneously.

Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications such

as Media-on-Demand that send multicast traffic across an Ethernet
network.
Multicast VLANs are shared in the network, while subscribers remain
in separate VLANs. This increases network security and saves
bandwidth on core links. Multicast streams do not have to be routed in
core L3 switches, which saves CPU power.

IPv6 Support
The switch supports a number of IPv6 features, including IPv6
Management, DCHPv6 Snooping with Option 37, IPv6 Source Guide.
